SEC Football Starts TODAY!!!! Good luck South Carolina. This is going to be an awesome season. Lets do this thing. Dennis Hopper is going to start us off with a few words to get us in the spirit.
Appalachian State vs LSU, Prediction, Preview. LSU is not Michigan. That pretty much sets up this prediction. Last year I was telling my buddies that Appalachian State was the Division II kings. No one should ever look past them.
Well, this year, NO ONE will look past them. Not one single team will ever say ” That is just little ole Appalachian State ” . App State might still win some big games, but it will not be from lack of respect.
LSU has talent out of the Wazoo, but huge QB questions. LSU and Les Miles can not afford to look over App State, and I do not think they will. This is still the defending National and SEC champs. That means a little something.
I pick LSU to hold on. My upset of the week is Alabama over Clemson. Just for laughs, here is the team LSU is going up against. Make sure you have a buddy whenever you are near water 
Video hat tip goes to Fanhouse
Alabama vs Clemson, Prediction, Preview. Now we are getting down to business. Can the SEC put up, or will they be shut up against top notch out of conference scheduling. This is the biggest game of the week, and Bama would not have it any other way.
I am going to go ahead and tell you that I am on upset alert code red. Clemson needs to watch out. Alabama is well coached and they have a ton of talent. Alabama is the dark horse of the SEC West and maybe the SEC.
This is pretty much the same team that Auburn waxed with a brand new offense in the Chik-fil-a Bowl last year. I know that people have them picked Clemson to win the ACC, but this is not the ACC. This is Alabama.
Now am I giving it to Alabama? No! I think Alabama needs to bring their A+ game.
I am also saying that this game will tell volumes about Alabama’s season. Will John Parker get his head on straight? Has a season and a half of coach Saban rubbed off on these kids? Will Alabama get a solid running attack that they can count on to make Wilson get better? Can Alabama put all of the off-season problems behind them? This first game will answer a lot of those questions, and will set the tone for the season.
As for Clemson, Tommy Bowden and company need to pack a lunch. Preseason polls do not mean a thing. It is as simple as that. The ACC is weak and people think they will go undefeated. That is why they have the great ranking, but everyone knows this is their biggest threat. They have talent. They have a lot of guys that could have went to the SEC. I am sure that they are all tired of the SEC especially their friends at South Carolina. What makes the SEC so good?
My answer is… I do not know what makes the SEC better, but it just is. Clemson struggles to win in the ACC. That is why they do not get their respect. Tommy Bowden chokes in the big games.
My prediction is that Alabama will win. I do not believe the preseason hype. I think Alabama has a long road ahead of them, but I think they can put together a game plan to stop Clemson. I think there is a book out on Tommy Bowden. Clemson will do good under him, but never go all the way.
Peyton Manning, Saturday Night Live, Monologue, Video. Peyton Manning is just funny. I always say it.

SEC Football 2008 Season Predictions. SEC Football Blogger is known for two things, and two things only. I do SEC Football Videos and Predictions. Lets do the thing. Please leave a comment below.
SEC West Predictions
1. Auburn. They have great schedule. They have a ton of talent. The spread offense is relatively easy to figure out and the new offensive Coordinator, Tony Franklin, is a spread offense genius.
2. LSU. You can not be that lucky every year. I am sorry. It is Auburn’s turn. The QB problems are huge for a team that had so many clutch passes and drives last year. This year will be a huge test for Les Miles.
3. Alabama. Alabama is the dark horse of the SEC West. Can John Parker Wilson get it together? Will Saban prove himself this year or next. It seems like it is just a matter of time.
4. Mississippi State. Croom and company have a good thing going down there. They had a taste of bowling and really liked it. They have something that they have not had for a good while in Starkville, RESPECT.
5. Ole Miss. Houston Nutt may not be the best coach, but he gets the job done. I really like what Croom is doing at State, but Nutt could move past them next year. RESPECT is going to come back to Mississippi football. I really do think so. These coaches are not the best, but they will make sure the teams play hard and work hard.
6. Arkansas. Houston Nutt knew when to leave. This team has nothing and the new coach is over rated. Petrino should have stayed in the Big East. He did not need to go to the NFL, and he did not need to come to the SEC. He gave up on his team when Vick had his problems. I wonder if he knew that Dmac and Jones were both going pro.
SEC East Predictions
1. Florida. Wow! I am sorry Georgia fans. I just can not get over Tim Tebow. I also think that no one else should. The whole season rests on him. He was the only Sophomore to ever win the Heisman. That is kind of a big deal. He broke so many records that he not allowed near the radio station…. Pause for laughter.
2. Georgia. Knowshon Moreno will be the deciding factor. I really wanted to pick Georgia Number 1. I really did. If Coach Richt can keep the team focused on winning, and not get on an emotional roller-coaster like last year, they have a chance at the National Championship. Florida seriously got my vote by a hair.
3. Tennessee. This is my dark horse for the SEC East. Coach Fulmer has always got talent in Knoxville. He has got a running back in Arian Foster. We all saw what a good running back did for Houston Nutt. Houston Nutt owes his last 2 years of employment at Arkansas to Dmac.
4. South Carolina. I refuse to believe that Spurrier will pull out another stinker. I just can not see that happening. I see them going to an OK bowl and a couple of good wins during the season.
5. Kentucky. They might go bowling. I am not sure. How will the spread look under new leadership. Brooks has them believing in something. I like it.
6. Vandy. Sorry guys. The cellar in the SEC is better than the cellar in the Big East. Trust me.
